Norfolk / Portsmouth is the world’s largest shipyard. Yeah! Here’s an aircraft carrier and a cruiser side-by side:
Plus, huge commercial docks. Here’s a bunch of 40′ ocean-going containers being loaded like a bunch of Legos.
Once you get past Norfolk, it turns out that Portsmouth is lovely…river walks, tree-lined streets, a historical district, and a very pleasant waterfront brewpub.
Plus, it’s about 75 degrees and sunny!.
This is Mile Marker Zero. Tomorrow we head down the Elizabeth River, through a lock, and into the ICW!

Cool. I’ve passed Norfolk on 95. It is impressive but I didn’t know it was the largest shipyard in the world! Glad all is going well so far ar. Btw…it’s sunny and 70 here, too.
